They tied the knot in a romantic week-long extravaganza at the Borgo Egnaza resort in Southern Italy two weeks ago.

And newlyweds Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel opted to honeymoon among African wildlife as the loved-up pair were seen arriving at the Kilimanjaro International airport in Tanzania two days after their nuptials.

Newly-released shots show the blissed-out couple exiting their private plane and boarding a helicopter to the reserve of Singita Grumeti in the world-famous Serengeti Park.

The lovebirds are believed to have enjoyed adventurous game drives with professional guides and a picturesque hot air balloon safari across the sprawling plains of the Serengeti.

The posh resort also offers activities such as horseback riding, archery, lawn croquet, mountain biking, yoga and tennis.

Five days later, the famous couple reportedly continued their celebration at the riverside Faru-Faru Lodges in the same 350,000-acre preserve before leaving October 30 by helicopter, then boarded a private plane destined for yet another exotic location.

Biel visited Tanzania back in 2010 when she scaled the 19,341 peak of Mount Kilimanjaro after a week-long charity climb alongside Emile Hirsch, Isabel Lucas, Santigold, and Lupe Fiasco for the global clean water crisis.

It's the first marriage for the twosome, who were engaged for 10 months after Justin proposed to Jessica in Big Sky, Montana with a custom-designed ring last December.

Celebrity guests of the destination wedding included SNL's Andy Samberg, music producer Timbaland and Jessica's 7th Heaven co-star Beverly Mitchell.

It was estimated that the week-long celebrations might have cost the on/off couple, who dated for five years, $10 million.

And as Jessica walked down the aisle in her custom pink Giambattista Valli gown, Justin serenaded her with a new original song.

'I figured if there was something I was going to be able to offer, it would be to sing her down the aisle,' the crooner told Hello! magazine.

'Grown men were weeping. Hopefully it's because I didn't sound bad.'

One celebrity guest who admittedly weeped at their Italian ceremony was talk show host Jimmy Fallon.

'It was just insane. Everything was just beautiful. It was really, really a beautiful night, the perfect temperature,' the funnyman revealed on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live.

'I'm just a sucker for weddings. I'm a fun person to invite to a wedding. I dance. I get up. I drink. But then I weep!'

Looking miserable as always!! she always tagging behind him as he goes about his business. She's in that relationship all by herself. They are never affectionate. Their pics together say a lot.

Of all of the honeymoon destinations on the earth, I would have to say Tanzania is dead last on my list.

Just married???? Where's the happiness??? These 2 look like they were forced together in an arranged marriage! Of course I know this isn't so...but look at those faces. Perhaps they are upset because their wedding video got discovered!!
